Re: Anyone Know Anything About Color?

I'm looking to know what method will be the most accurate at darkening/lightening colors.
Color theory mate. Look it up. You don't just make a color have more black. Yes, this does darken them, but no its not accurate. Color changes as they get lighter/go darker.

Re: modem

Get yourself a cheap 100mbit/1gbit switch. Attach the modem/router to the switch, and the computer/xbox to the switch. Your computer and xbox will always stay online then, unless you take out a cable. In fact, this is my current setup, and it works well. Just make sure your cable modem/router suppor...

Re: How does video game networking work?

In the end, you'd (hopefullly) write a wrapper class around whatever you are using. So a network class, with send/recieve functions and whatever else. That way, its not too much work to add udp/tcp later on. All you'd have to do is change the class, the connection details, and maybe a little bit in ...

Re: need help with keyboard input (sdl)

I forgot, you also need specialized functions to deal with unicode strings/charaters. They generally are the same name but end/start with a u *i think*. Check that out.

Re: need help with keyboard input (sdl)

A char can't hold Unicode characters, obviously. A char is ascii, and only a byte, where as unicode has characters from 1-byte up to 4-bytes per character. As for capital letters, check for shift/caps lock and make letter capital as accordingly. If you want to deal with Unicode, really, your program...

Re: Trying to make a computer

Why Intel? Thier problem is that they change sockets on you very often. If you want to upgrade the cpu, you have to upgrade the mobo. AMD have gone down another route. I can still fit AM2 and AM2+ cpu's into AM3 sockets for christ sakes. And it works. Lmao. I have that same exact case in that link. ...

Re: My Chess Program

Growing memory usage signifies a memory leak, not a high CPU usage.

Chess programs by definition are CPU-usage hogs.

Re: random numbers

Exactly, this is what I failed to say last time. Hell, even ms since epoch is not enough. Some RNG's will change the seed each time since last use (Probably by adding/multiplying the last random number).
